Abstract

A graph G is hypohamiltonian/hypotraceable if it is not hamiltonian/traceable,but all vertex deleted subgraphs of G are hamiltonian/traceable. Until now all hypotraceable graphs were constructed using hypohamiltonian graphs; extending a method of Thomassen we present a construction that uses so-called almost hypohamiltonian graphs (nonhamiltonian graphs, whose vertex deleted subgraphs are hamiltonian with exactly one exception). As an application, we construct a planar hypotraceable graph of order 138, improving the best known bound of 154. We also prove a structural type theorem showing that hypotraceable graphs possessing some connectivity properties are all built using either Thomassen's or our method.
